Anthony Weiner Checks into Rehab for Sex Addiction in Midst of Investigation

Former congressman and estranged husband of prominent Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, has checked into a sex addiction facility after multiple sexting scandals, one of which included lewd conversations with an underage girl, according to a report from MailOnline.

The facility he is attending has strict rules such as no electronic devices, the separation of men and women, and involves extended counselling on issues such as pornography, cybersex, and anonymous sex, it has been revealed.

His decision to check into a sex addiction facility follows another revelation from MailOnline in September that the former New York Congressman had been sending explicit photos to a 15-year-old girl in which he allegedly talked about his “rape fantasies.”

A federal grand jury consequently began to investigate the case, which revealed that Weiner shared a computer with his wife Huma Abedin, leading to the FBI’s decision to re-investigate Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server.
